/**
 Allows generation of JSON for otherwise unsupported classes.

 If you have a custom class that you want to create a JSON representation
 for you can implement this method in your class. It should return a
 representation of your object defined in terms of objects that can be
 translated into JSON. For example, a Person object might implement it like this:

     - (id)proxyForJson {
        return [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
        name, @"name",
        phone, @"phone",
        email, @"email",
        nil];
     }

 */
- (id)proxyForJson;

- (void)writer:(SBJson4StreamWriter *)writer appendBytes:(const void *)bytes length:(NSUInteger)length;

@end

@class SBJson4StreamWriterState;

/**
 The Stream Writer class.

 Accepts a stream of messages and writes JSON of these to its delegate object.

 This class provides a range of high-, mid- and low-level methods. You can mix
 and match calls to these. For example, you may want to call -writeArrayOpen
 to start an array and then repeatedly call -writeObject: with various objects
 before finishing off with a -writeArrayClose call.

 Objective-C types are mapped to JSON types in the following way:

 - NSNull        -> null
 - NSString      -> string
 - NSArray       -> array
 - NSDictionary  -> object
 - NSNumber's -initWithBool:YES -> true
 - NSNumber's -initWithBool:NO  -> false
 - NSNumber      -> number

 NSNumber instances created with the -numberWithBool: method are
 converted into the JSON boolean "true" and "false" values, and vice
 versa. Any other NSNumber instances are converted to a JSON number the
 way you would expect.

 @warning: In JSON the keys of an object must be strings. NSDictionary
 keys need not be, but attempting to convert an NSDictionary with
 non-string keys into JSON will throw an exception.*
